Question

How many characters can 8 bits do?

Answer 1

An ASCII character in 8-bit ASCII encoding is 8 bits (1 byte), though it can fit in 7 bits. An ISO-8895-1 character in ISO-8859-1 encoding is 8 bits (1 byte). A Unicode character in UTF-8 encoding is between 8 bits (1 byte) and 32 bits (4 bytes)



Sometimes you hear a group of four bits called a nibble. The largest number you can represent with 8 bits is 11111111, or 255 in decimal notation. Since 00000000 is the smallest, you can represent 256 things with a byte. (Remember, a bite is just a pattern



Hope it helps plz mark as brainliest Please please

Answer 2

when 8 bits are grouped together as a unit. a byte provides enough different combinations of 0s and 1s to represent 256 individual characters
